I believe the congressmen get way more than a million a year in favors and kickbacks from lobbyists. If your brother-in-law has one brain cell, you can set him up in some kind of sweet deal in your home state, then you can reap the duckets, you know like bridge projects, road building, federal construction projects etc. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the coruption in the congress, what gets me is the news media is asleep at the wheel and should be investigating these criminals much more! The lobbyist situation is totally out of control!
